"She knew EXACTLY what to do and where to be to get the shots I needed "

The shots she captured were amazing! I hired Chinling to be my second shooter and I cannot say enough good things about her work ethic, experience and personality!! She has photographed as lead photographer in many weddings- so I knew her experience, and the knowledge she’d have about the flow of the day would be invaluable! She did not disappoint! She was more than capable of working on her own, in those times I needed her to photograph groups away from where I was working. If you’re looking to hire an experienced second shooter- do not hesitate with Chinling! She is a gem!

"She did not hesitate to do what needed to be done. I appreciated her for being helpful without my asking."

Chinling was an amazing help for one of my wedding shoots.

She showed up on time, dressed and acted professionally, and was extremely knowledgable as a second shooter. She clearly knows what a wedding day looks like and what to anticipate for the the photos.

I appreciated her for being flexible (we had to drive to multiple locations). While we worked well as a team, she did not hesitate to do what needed to be done. I hope to work with Chinling once again.

"Not only did she deliver stunning photos but she was professional, prompt, helpful and so positive "

Chinling second shot a wedding with me in a June wedding. Not only did she deliver stunning photos but she was professional, prompt, helpful and so positive (on what was the rainiest day of the year).

I would be thrilled to have her second shoot more weddings with me in the future. Thank you so much, Chinling!

"She delivered above and beyond my expectations, was there for me as support throughout the day."

I hired Chinling to second shoot a wedding with me multiple times, and I was very happy with the images that she produced! It hard to work with new people, but Chinling understood exactly what I was looking for!

She delivered above and beyond my expectations, was there for me as support throughout the day, and was an absolute pleasure to have as part of my team! I can’t wait to work with her again, and highly recommend her as a 2nd shooter!

Kind Words 





A mini brand session built into the wedding day. A few intentional portraits for you in between—fresh, updated headshots that reflect how you work. Starting at $300.

Photographer Brand Portraits, On the Day

I shoot with a Canon R6, using the RF 85mm f/1.2 and RF 28–70mm f/2 for both portrait and full-day coverage. Off-camera flash with the 600EX II-RT is used when needed.

For film, I work with both medium format (Contax 645 — 120 film) and 35mm (Canon AE-1 — 135 film), bringing a layered and timeless quality to the final gallery.

My approach is grounded in consistency and awareness—adapting to your workflow, lighting conditions, and direction to ensure the final images feel cohesive with your vision.
